What if everything you’ve been searching for—confidence, power, freedom—was already in you?
In this raw and radically affirming episode of What the Shift, Gia sits down with Liz Hansen, founder of Chicago Boudoir Photography and TEDx speaker, to unpack the truth about embodiment, shame, and the lies we’ve been taught about being “good women.”
From shaking in her boots before her first boudoir shoot to becoming the most sought-after boudoir photographer in Chicago, Liz shares how stepping in front of the camera cracked her wide open—and why she’s now on a mission to help thousands of women reclaim their power, their sensuality, and their damn selves.
This conversation unpacks:
What boudoir photography is really about (hint: it’s not just sexy pictures)
How societal conditioning convinces women to shrink—and how to unlearn it
The difference between performing confidence and actually embodying it
Why your scars—visible or not—deserve to be honored
And the truth about the woman you were always meant to be
This episode is your permission slip to stop waiting, stop hiding, and start becoming.
